By releasing Asante Samuel & Stephen Nicholas, #Falcons save $7.5M in cash & $6.5M in cap space in 2014.

Would be worth a one year deal imo, he's played for Mcdermott in Philly.

Are you oblivious to their cap savings from releasing him?

Would definitely take him on a 1 year deal. Would fit well into our scheme.

no, I am not. Just saying, the guy is old and heading towards retirement.  what they saved is about normal for a probowl CB.  IF they thought he could go another year etc, they prolly would have kept him.  Carolina should avoid this like the plague.  Also Gettlemen has already stated he doesnt want 21 free agents every year. I dont see them signing him.

[carolina-chuck]

Sign me up.

Even though he's regressed as a player, he's still better than what we have, a scheme fit it seems, and could even provide a little intel on the Falcons to boot. Wouldn't be opposed at all if the contract is right.
